1. Hang 'Em High - B- (2.94)
Starts off the album heavy and hard with their trademark bagpipes.  The songs gets a bit cluttered as it goes on but has bits of catchiness to it, ultimately rounds itself out as a decent DKM 'B Side'.

2. Going Out in Style - A- (3.80)
One of DKM's sing-along duet bar songs, reminiscent of classic songs like 'Barroom Hero'.  'Goin Out in Style' is a great high energy song for a night of drinking.

3. The Hardest Mile - C+ (2.79)
Another song featuring both Al Barr and Ken Casey, 'The Hardest Mile' is relatively bland until the song slows to their classic drum beat sing-along about halfway through and the song gains momentum through the end.

4. Cruel - B (2.95)
Starting off with banjo and drums, 'Cruel' sounds like an outtake from 'Blackout'.  That's not a bad thing, the song is another political leaning song with heartfelt lyrics and Dropkick's trademark storytelling.

5. Memorial Day - C+ (2.50)
This one doesn't really have a Dropkick Murphy's sounds aside from some of the background music.  Oddly enough, it has more of an 'Against Me' sound with banjo thrown in for good measure.  The song is ok but it's not Dropkick.  It's also their first "single" off the album, an apparent attempt at gaining widespread radio play.

6. Climbing a Chair to Bed - C (2.00)
The album started strong but has taken a dip in the middle as this is another relatively boring song.  It sounds like they were trying a little too hard to sounds like their older style but it just doesn't work.

7. Broken Hymns - A- (3.80)
Starts off strong with a snare and banjo solo that is actually a lot better than it sounds like it would be.  Another story being told, something that has become a great staple in Dropkick's career.  Both Al and Ken get in on this one as well and it's a phenomenal and moving song of hope and dreams.

8. Deeds Not Words - B (3.14)
The album is picking back up after a few rough tracks.  'Deeds Not Words' is a good fast moving pick-up song.

9. Take 'Em Down - B+ (3.50)
A worker's anthem, another staple of Dropkick Murphy's (yes, their staples are really piling up).  This is another sing and stomp-along song that adds to their growing catalog of great bar room songs.

10. Sunday Hardcore Matinee - C+ (2.79)
It's a decent song but it's another that just kind of fades into the background.  You won't skip it but you won't put it on repeat either.

11. 1953 - B+ (3.64)
A good ballad song, definetely on DKM's softer side but some of their best songs have been in that category as well, and this one might make it.  It's a sweet song about love, just in time for Valentine's Day.

12. Peg O' My Heart A (4.00)
This is a great high energy song that is also great for Valentine's Day.  Apparently, DKM has become more romantic than political.

13. The Irish Rover - A (4.00)
They haven't done it on every album but it's become a welcome regular to have a traditional Irish anthem covered in the DKM style.  'The Irish Rover' was brought to the commercial masses by 'The Pogues' in the 80s and this version certainly.

After a 4 year wait (the longest drought in Dropkick's career), the band is out to prove that they are still relevant.  Their previous album 'The Meanest of Times', marked their highest chart position to date, thanks in large part to the widespread attention they received from the inclusion of 'I'm Shipping Up to Boston' in the 2006 film 'The Departed', but it was arguably their weakest album to date.  This album isn't without it's flaws but it's a great rebound and deals nicely with sadness, working class and, mostly, love.  Welcome back Dropkick Murphy's, you are back in style, now please don't go.
